I counted seven yesterday. They were out yesterday morning 2-13-12 sunning themselves. It was 26 degrees when these photos were taken.

Here are a few photos.

Nice pictures! What kind of camera and/or lens?

My favorite one is the ASY male all fluffed up.

Those are nice shots of the male - almost like close up of hummingbird's throat

Beautiful photos! Makes you wonder what on earth makes them brave those temps to start migrating. I'd still be in sunny MX sunning myself lol.
